just in case ill leve this here...

its not liking the length of some string you've written. Without seeing the script, this is as far as we can help you.

hmm, I don't see any abnormally sized strings. I even tested compiling a script with a string more than 10x your longest one, and it didnt have any issues. Are you using any foreign characters that aren't showing in your forum post?

not realy,the map was already working before this error and nothing changes,just add a few lines to the script longer than you can see

could be the fact that,i have more than one hsc file?

sorry i miss that :P

here are all the scripts on total.

now could be a problem?
Edited by creator843 on Oct 3, 2012 at 07:04 PM

...beats me...

I've never seen a script that long. I'd combine them all into 1 and see what happens.

Having multiple .hsc files is absolutely no problem as the engine just combines them automatically. If I have time tonight I'll go through your scripts and see if I can help.

Cheers.

.. really? you've never seen scripts that long?.. Why don't you look at a10 for a moment.. I make scripts 20x that long all the time lol. Anyways, halo can easily handle multiple hsc files. There is external things in your system that can negatively effect the count (never tracked down the cause, I just deal with it lol. In fact, right now something is effecting what names get compiled lol. I cant compile when the names start with certain letters. 'a' always works, etc) but even if an external thing is effecting your scripts, it doesn't crash sapien, it just makes sapien not notice things.


Anyways, I don't see anything wrong script (or even string, which debug.txt blames) wise. I myself would put quotes around the sound_loop path, but that shouldn't cause any errors if you don't. If I have time during the weekend, ill try compiling it in a test map, see if it crashes me as well. For now, try moving them into separate folders, compile one at a time; try to narrow down which one causes the crash.

ok thanks kirby ill do it.

thanks dude =D

make sure scripts are in alphabetical order so each script get their proper reference, if any of course

Er I meant a list of script files, not a script. Oops.

hi there..i still dont fix the problem D:,now that im thinking maybe is the hud message that i add? (i think i dont show it on the script) because when create it and add the line to the scripts is now causing problems...maybe i dont know... well this is how the hud-message looks*just in case*

A=>>Round 1
B=>>weave 1
C=>>SURVIVE!

Do you want me to spell check all of your scripts?

yes please...i still cant fix this problem D: is there any other information you guys need?¿So that way i can get a better help?

Are you spelling the commands right? (No offense,Chris)
Typos can screw up your scripts.

i already fix it.
